NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Hugh Jackman shared his Christmas Day experience with Instagram fans by posting a clip from Rockefeller Center, New York City.

The star posted on his social media page, saying, "I highly recommend getting up really early on Christmas morning and taking a walk to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree. It’s so beautiful and not crowded at all."

“I did get in trouble for going beyond the barrier but the security guard was nice and let me go with just a warning,” he wrote alongside the clip.

On Sunday, Hugh posed with another Christmas tree and captioned, “Merry Christmas Eve!”

Jackman's first Christmas post separation from ex-wife Deborra-lee

The 55-year-old recently went through a divorce with his wife, Deborra-lee, in September. However, the two were spotted together at his birthday party at Ralph Lauren’s Polo Bar in October.

Jackman is set to appear in the new Marvel film, reprising his iconic 'Wolverine' character. The movie is directed by Shawn Levy, who discussed the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Jackman in an interview with the LA Times.

"It’s f**king real. The guys love each other almost as much as Ryan Reynolds and I love each other — because that bromance is a tale for all time,” Levy said.

Reynolds voiced his frustration in a hilarious way about spoilers being revealed through leaked photos, emphasizing the importance of preserving surprises in theatrical movies, reports MEAWW.

His original post expressed the desire to maintain the magic of surprises for the audience and the finished film.

While Reynolds was earnest in his message, Jackman's playful response reflects their dynamic camaraderie and adds a humorous touch to the situation.

Reynolds' original post reads, "The film is built for audience joy — and our hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen."

“Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real-world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket. I love making this movie," he added.
